📣 Over 340 civil society organisations from more than 50 countries are calling on governments to free themselves from ISDS — a little-known system that allows corporations to sue states in tribunals outside national legal systems. 🧵👇
For decades, ISDS has been used to challenge public policies, protect corporate interests, and raise the cost of environmental and social action. Fossil fuel companies alone have been awarded more than $87 billion through this system 💸⛽

✋ The call is clear: stop signing new ISDS agreements, begin ending existing ones, and explore collective cancellation of treaties. Read the full statement here: europeantradejustice.org/2026-isds-st... #ISDS #YesToLifeNoToMining #Corporations #FossilFuels #TransitioningAwayFromFossilFuels
